The stock market is in a rough patch for the first time since the July to October period of last year. After the major indices hit their secondary highs on April 11 (the Nasdaq hit its all-time high that day), is has pretty much been 'down periscope.' Out of those trading six days, the S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq, and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) have fallen between 0.9% and 2.1% on three (SPX) or four of those days. Despite the very steep downside slope of the Big 3, NYSE breadth actually bottomed on April 12 and 15, illustrating that the selling has been concentrated in Big Tech and the many stocks that were overly extended on a momentum basis.
The Argus Mid-Cap Model Portfolio
Small- and mid-cap stocks (SMID) have underperformed large-caps over the past 12 months, but may be in a better position to generate market-beating returns going forward. SMID companies tend to focus on domestic markets, so their businesses could be less disrupted by the fallout from global events. As well, the prices of SMID stocks generally are lower than the prices of large-caps. As well, there are long stretches in the record books when SMID stocks have outperformed large-caps. That said, SMID stocks can be risky. The standard deviation for monthly returns was 5.7% for SMID stocks over a 2003-2021 test period, versus 4.3% for large-caps. Still, despite the risks, diversified investors look to have exposure to small- and mid-caps based on the long-term performance record.
